can voters to form campaign clubs,
as suggested by the State Com
mittee. The New York Convention
has been called to discuss principles
and not men, and is in the interest
of no particular Presidential candi-
date. The meeting is in the nature
of conference of representative Re
publicans for the purpose of COM
pairing notes on the political situa-
ton and discussing the issues of the
day. This is an excellent move, as
the success of a political campaign
depends in large measure upon
thorough organization. Without
organization no party can succeed.

The Daily News of New York,
which claims to be the organ of the
laboring classes, says it is estimated
that there are $4,000 skilled workers
of both sexes out of employment in
that city,and with the army of com
mon laborers and men who do all
sorts of odd jobs, it is believed that
the total number of persons who are
willing to work but cannot obtain
employment is 100000.

The Boston weekly Journal.

The opportunity is offered the
Republicans of Vermont to secure
the Boston Weekly Journal in con-
nection with any local paper that
should be availed of by every Re-
publican in the State, and even
Democrats who desire a first class
newsy weekly visitor will do we'll to
make it one of their family news
papers. The Journal for more than
fifty years has been a reliable pub
LEGATION. 1t does not seek to startle
its readers by sensations, but to in
struct its readers by an honest pres
entation of facts, and to give paper
of thirty-six columns which shall be
in more than a political sense an
educational publication. It's varied
columns represent the best thought
of the leading minds of the country.
1t has always been a stanch, reliable
Republican newspaper. When other
Boston papers have wavered and
proved faithless the Journal has
been found maintaining its principles
10y honest argument and sound
reasoning.

Home Patronage.

The weeks between now and the
opening of the new year make the
harvest time of our merchants. 1t
is the season when more money is
spent than at any other. Whether
the outlay for Christmas gifts and
for such other articles as the season
requires shall be in a manner that
will benefit the town as whole de-
ponds upon the purchasers. Buyers
and sellers together make up the
community, and whatever results in
prosperity to the latter helps the
place, and thus indirectly the form
err. A community Is composed of
individuals, each more or less de-
pendent upon the others. First,
perhaps, come the farmers; then
the miller who grinds the corn, and
another who saws the lumber; then
a blacksmith is needed, and then a
wheelwright. Then carpenters,
painters, timers, and other lnechan-
les are required. Then come the
tailor, the shoemaker, the butcher,
the dry goods dealers, and other
mercantile men, as the place grows.
A physician is needed, and one is
induced to settle; also clergyman.
Soon a lawyer appears; and so, per-
haps, come also banks of discount
and banks of savings, and hotels,
and all the other institutions and
interests that together form a pros
porous town or city.
But in time some seem to forget
that they owe their position to what
others have done for them, and,
instead of patronizing their own
tradesmen, send out to other places
for what they require, even when
the same goods that they buy can
be bought of their home dealers at
fair prices. The money thus spent
has come from the community in
which these people reside, and the
ones who spend it are looking to the
same sources for more. This is all
wrong. People should consider the
mutual relationship in which they
stand as citizens and spend theil
money at home whenever it is prac
ticable to do so. No person in g
community can absolve himself FROM
these mutual obligations. A mar
has property there and the prospect
ty of his neighbors enhances its val
ne. He pays taxes, and as his towns
men prosper his burden of taxation
is lightened. He is interested il
the schools and the churches, ant
they are better maintained when al
the people are thriving. The threads
that bind the community tcgethe
are numerous, and none of them cal
be broken without weakening th'
whole body.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we
live in! Nature gives us grandeur of
mountains, glens and oceans and
thousands of means of enjoyment. We
can desire no better when in perfect
health; but how often do the majority
of people feel like giving up disheart-
ened, discouraged and worn out with
disease, when there is no occasion for
this feeling, as every sufferer can easily
obtain satisfactory proof, that Green's
August Flower, will make them free
from disease, as when born. Dyspep-
STA and Liver Complaint are the direct
cause of seventy-five per cent of such
maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous
Prostitution, Dizziness of the Head,
Palpitation of the Heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses of
August Flower will prove its wonder
full effect. Sample bottles, 10 cents.

The Portland Press says that if
the Republicans win next year cit
will not be by lodges or diversions"
and that the great majority of Re-
publican voters are men "who have
too much at stake in the welfare
and prosperity of the country to
tolerate any coquetry with doctrines
which they believe inimical to the
best interests of the nation for the
purpose of catching votes"

The project of organizing State
Republican Club meets with much
favor among leading members of
the dominant party in this State,
and it is probable that a political
organization of this character will
soon be formed. 1t is proposed by
those interested in the formation of
a Republican Club to meet once a
month or oftener at some central
place to discuss the political situa,
ton and lay out campaign work to
be done in connection with the State
Committee,

Vermont Republican Organising.

The recommendation made by
the Republican State Committee to
the Republicans of Vermont, that
they at once organize campaign
clubs and elect delegates to attend
the National Convention of Repub-
lican Clubs to be held in New York
on Dec. Is, meets with much favor
among the rank and file of the party
in this State. Already the Repub-
licans of St. Adams, Rutland and
other towns have taken steps toward
forming campaign clubs for the pri-
mary object of electing delegates to
the New York Convention. Repub.

There are "rutS" in social and
family matters. In business, in poll
tics, in all concerns of life, there are
routine courses in which all the
world moves along without the
trouble of thinking. If the old ways
are good it is all right, and no man
or woman should change for the
mere sake of changing. If in the
old there are obvious imperfections,
nobody should maintain the old
simply because it is old. Respect
for the past and adherence to the
time-honored is right. Perfection
in the details of ones own calling
is above all things essential to sue
cess. Yet in the past we should not
forget the present. Neither in our
own personal pursuits should we so
narrow down our vision that we
know nothing beyond our own busi-
ness, and can do nothing outside of
our special calling. Habit is an I'M
avoidable chain. Therefore the band
should be made flexible. If it be
bad it should be reformed altogether.
And even the good may be some
times replaced by the better. Every
body is aware that there are certain
daily things which he does mechan.
ically, almost unconsciously. He is
running in rut. The science of
good road making which immortal.
lied Sir John i. Macadam, is to
construct a road without any ruts,
This process should be mentally ap'
piled, and thus, while travel is easy
if run in a we'll worn rut, any
necessary deviation may be made
without Earring.

Great Value for Little Money.

If you would get the best news
paper at a surprisingly low figure
take the Troy Weekly Times. 1t
contains everything that the trades
men, the farmer or the family wants
to know. 1t has the news of the
world carefully and intelligently set
forth. Special correspondents cover
national and state centres. An army
of local correspondents gather the
Jews from all the local fields. Able
editorials comment upon the doings
of the day and the phases of modern
life. The Weekly Times is alive
with news. Facts for farmers are
given in abundance; full market
reports from Troy, Albany, Boston,
New York and the leading CONNER
cial marts, near and far; hints in
profusion for the farm and house
hold. One of the best features of
the Weekly Times as a paper for
the family is its selections from the
best current literature, which are
added to the original matter, and
description, story, and poem make
charming reading for the home
circle. The enormous circulation
of the Weekly Times makes it pos
sible to furnish such a complete
newspaper, representing so much
expenditure of money and labor, for
a phenomenally small sum. We
have good news for our readers in
the announcement that we have
made arrangements whereby the
Troy Weekly Times and the HERALD
will be sent to our subscribers at the
low rate of $l.65 a year.

Don't Try to Ge Funny.

Corwin Of Ohio, tom Corwin, as
every one called him. was natural wit,
and his reputation IS humorous speaker
was better established than that of any
other man in congress or in the country.
One evening, after he had delivered a
speech at 4 political meeting in Ohio
which had been highly complimented, he
seemed dissatisfied with himself, and
finally said to those around him in his
room: Il feel in the mood just now to
give few words of advice to you young
men, which i hope may influence your
future lives. Let me say TO you, in sober
earneStneSS, don't try to be funny, like
me. You could doubtless make better
clowns than have made Of myself, but
don't try. | shall regret TO my dying day
that | ever said a funny thing. The
world will laugh at me; but the world
despises the clown at last. i can do moth
ing else. When speech is announced to
be made by Tom Corwin, everybody sX-
poets a clownish performance, and any
thing else would not be tolerated
Il am relegated to the circus rlnS 10Y
the rest of my life. Whether feel seri-
Gus, sad or happy, it is all the same-le
must be funny speech; and know II,
and yield to this popular preJualce ana
clamor. and so on making fool or my
self. and shall continue 10 do so TO the
end of my career. The man who talks
as do never gets any credit for any SOLID
attainments; he is never looked upon as
n statesman; and il he gets any political
preferment it is only as sort OF JOKE,
and not because he is supposed TO be
statesman. If man could talk funny
when he felt like 1t, and talk sense at
other times, or if it were possible to make
people understand that he was only crac &
ing a Joke to amnse them, IL might 90;
but that is not the way in which the
world is constituted. \ man must be
funny or wise. You may rise higher IN
the 10 ~ run to be wise. This reputation
Of mine hangs about my neck like the
body OF death. Il is the Nemesis which
will haunt me to my grave. Shun It
while you may" These remarks made
great impression upon the young meQ to
whom they were addressed, and when
